Instructions

Cook the Ground Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Sauté the Veggies: Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the Tomatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, green chilies, taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Add the Broth and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth and water, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to your liking. If you prefer a spicier soup, add more chili powder or a few dashes of hot sauce.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with cheese, sour cream, cilantro, avocado, and tortilla chips. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with extra beans or plant-based protein.
You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder or by including a chopped jalapeño.
Make it creamy by stirring in a bit of heavy cream or cream cheese in the last few minutes of cooking.
Freezer-friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat and top with fresh ingredients before serving.
